Christmas Eve again. So today, everybody should be hilarious.
Most of the ladies maximize their imagination to present the best side of themselves. While lined up for the train to office, most of the female acquaintances were a little bit different. Make-up has been put on, shiny skirts and black stockings replaced all the daily trousers and jeans. Every woman seemed to be as luminous as Christmas lighting, though few of them were overpowered. On the contrary, men are as dull as ever.
In the office, female colleagues are dispatching sweeties as Christmas gift. I have received homemade brownie, cookies and chocolate. If I were endowed a sweet tongue, I would have been very happy. Also, as an inborn paranoid, sometimes, I would suspect the motive of our lovely colleagues. Would they lose face if everybody is giving out but themselves? Anyway, in the joyful day, benefit of the doubt should be given.
Christmas carols fill in each and every street corners. All the boys and girls, called by the Almighty, gather together, sing free karaoke in the open area. Generally an "earsore", we have to put up with this kind of noise pollution for a few days. Hong Kong, the city of shopping mall, is also programmed with cliche songs, like Last Christmas would repeat endlessly in any arcade. Sadly, being an atheist, I could never feel the solemnity of God inside the church, in person.
At the end of the day, the best I could get in this Christmas, are a pair of nice jeans, together with some rest.
